[Nokel81]

Context

• node version: 14.17.X
• module version with issue: 17.5.0
• last module version without issue: 17.5.0
• environment (e.g. node, browser, native): node

• any other relevant information:

What are you trying to achieve or the steps to reproduce?

const schema = Joi.string();
const result = schema.validate(getUnknownValue());

if (!result.error) {
  result.value; // typed as `any` but should be `string`
}

What was the result you got?

The result of Joi.string().validate(...) has the field value typed as any.

What result did you expect?

The result of Joi.string().validate(...) has the field value typed as string.

On a related note, it also seems strange that Joi.array() only every validates to any. Not even any[]

This seems to be fixed by #2860 🎉
